Subway

New Bakersville has an extensive subway network connecting the whole city. It was originally built in 1895 and has different architecture based on the dates of their construction. Older stations and tunnels use dull, tan tiling and low ceilings, well stations built or renovated after 1905 use a cleaner, white tiling, and higher ceilings. Every station has differing color schemes in tiling, usually based on the area above to help the rider locate themselves in the city.

As of 1915, the 1 train ran independent, before the Fifth Avenue Express began service in July 28 of the same year. An extension to the uptown area was built in 1920 and opened on March 3, 1921. This extended the line to its present terminus of Van Cortlandt Park.

The 1 uses the following lines with the same service pattern at all times.

Van Cortlandt Park is the northernmost terminal of the Fifth Avenue Line. It is adjacent to Van Cortlandt Park.

There are three island platforms, providing access to four tracks. Platform 1 is unused, possibly being a future southbound 2 service. It cannot be accessed from the existing 2 track. Platform 2 provides access to 2 and 3 trains. Platform 3 provides access to 3 and 1 trains. To the immediate west is an interlocking station routing 1, 2, and 3 trains to their respective tracks. To the east are abandoned spur tracks for a possible extension of the 2 to Jaikruna. As platforms 2 and 3 are level with the concourse and fare gates, the station is ADA Accessible.

There are two exits in the station. The main exit is a station building north of Eighth Street in Van Cortlandt Park with a accessible elevator. The second exit is to the south of Eighth Street.

This underground station, which opened on March 3, 1921, has two side platforms and four tracks. The two center express tracks are used by the 2 and 3 trains during daytime hours. Due to it's close proximity to Van Cortlandt Park, the Northbound platform is exit only. There is no free transfer between platforms.

This underground station, which opened on August 17, 1908 as a shuttle to 2nd Avenue. It was built primarily to allow direct subway access to EN15 New Bakersville - Uptown, as 2nd Avenue Station was one block away to the west. The original station consisted of one island platform, and two terminating tracks. The station was closed on June 20, 1915 to allow construction on the Fifth Avenue Line's extension. On March 3, 1921, the station was reopened on the newly extended Fifth Avenue Line, with two island platforms and four tracks.

Second Avenue Station was opened on August 17, 1904 as one of the original B Division stations. The lower level platforms originally served the R and W trains as a terminus, with tracks extending north to a layup track and for a possible extension to Jaikrunda. In 1910, the B was extended through Midtown and Uptown and uses the R tracks. Although the upper level platforms never ended up being used until 1921, they had been installed for a possible future extension of the 4 to the east and an unnamed new service, although it ultimately was used for the Fifth Avenue Line's extension from 8th Street to Van Cortlandt Park. A previous mezzanine level platform had existed for the
. In August of 1908, the upper platform was used for a two track shuttle to Uptown.

8th Street was originally opened as the northern terminus of the original 10 subway stations on the Fifth Avenue Line. It originally had two mezzanine level island platforms for express service, which were deconstructed to allow through service to the Van Cortlandt Park extension, as well as to make the station local due to low ridership. There are two exits, one on the southeast corner of Third Avenue and 8th Street, and one on the northeast corner. The former platform used a similar track junction to the current Van Cortlandt Park station.
